1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Hey, James, how are you. I'm doing good. How are you?

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. Thanks. Congratulations on a victory Monday. Nice

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: impressive overall victory for your team yesterday. I thought both

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: sides of the ball performed the way you'd like. Yeah,

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: maybe played a complimentary football game. Obviously it wasn't perfect,

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: but that we played the way we needed to play

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: to get to win. And you know, I guess they

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: just definitely have to come out victorious. What was it

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: like having Rex burkhead back? Obviously a little bit more

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: of a rotation amongst the running backs. I was always

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: good to have Rex in there. He's a versatile guy,

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: makes played on special teams, can carrish block running football,

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: and he does anything that coaches need him to do.

14
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: And it's always a good animal weapons. I saw that

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 1: speedy sliding five yards scrambled by your quarterback that gave

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: him a thousand career rushing yards. And then I noticed

17
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: when he's taking knees at the end of the game,

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: he's moving forward before he touches the knee down. I mean,

19
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: I think we don't realize how big a deal this

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: is to him. I guess big deals. It's a good

21
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: accomplishment to me, he has a lot of records and

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: all that good stuff, and he's got to keep it

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: into the list. Can you can't move backwards? Now? The

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: last play of the first half, you know, rather than

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: like a traditional hail Mary, they throw it to you,

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: you scoot for about forty two yards. Is that just

27
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: a pad your stats or what's going on there? I mean,

28
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: just the way it worked out and dumped it down

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: to me. Just try and get him in obviously. Now

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: when you see a lot of guy, yeah, you see

31
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: about eleven of him staying there at the five yard liner.

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 1: He's like, I guess I'll go down here. Yeah, yeah,

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: I'll just get out here. I mean, I guess you

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: put the ball in the hands of the playmakers and

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: see what they can do with it. But the numbers

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: were sort of stacked against you there, weren't they. Yeah.

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: I mean that that wasn't the design. That wasn't the

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: first read, is what you're saying. Huh yeah? Yeah. The

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: other thing that that just jumped out at me. And

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: the delight you guys took in what James Devlin did.

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: You guys were so excited for him. He said in

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: no game in his entire life at any level. Has

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: he scored two touchdowns in a game before? I thought

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: you guys seemed happier for him than he seemed. I mean,

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: it's just really cool to, you know, see him go

46
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: out there and get those touchdowns. He puts in the

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: work walking for us, making plays on special teams, is

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, one of those stuffless positions, like like the

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: offensive line. Those guys don't really get a lot of

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: the credits, so it's cool to see them get a

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: little little shine And that's wildlife for once. What's the

52
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: most touchdowns you've scored in a game, like even going

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: back to high school? Do you remember? Uh? I think four?

54
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: I think actually score four versus Rix and the big

55
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: team championship. And you made sure he doesn't forget Yeah,

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Yeah, I don't think he

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: can forget that game. Now. We were just talking before

58
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: you got on the air with us about how in

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: December it seems like you guys are always playing your

60
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: best football. Do you notice a bit of a difference

61
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: as you get you know, the post Thanksgiving that things

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: are starting to click. It seems like on both sides

63
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: of the ball. I think it's just the very important

64
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: time of the year, the final stretch of the season.

65
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: It can kind of make or break your season. So

66
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: we know what's at stake and you want to play

67
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: your best football at this point. Was it was interesting

68
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to meet it here, Josh Gordon talking about the Patriots

69
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: and how they approach things in December because he's seeing

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: it from an outsider's perspective. This is the first time

71
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: he's been involved with this, but he said, obviously the

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Patriots know that it's time to kick it into gear.

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Did you know that the very first year you were

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: here as well? Yeah, man, it's stressed to you as

75
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: soon as you walk into the building and this time

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: of year comes around. Um, you know, Patriots have had

77
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: a great history and you know, having success at this

78
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: point in the season, and they're gonna let you know

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: how poorn it is. And just once you go out

80
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: there and play your best football, and I think everybody

81
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: learns it when they come to build it now. One

82
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: of the big stories over the weekend in the NFL

83
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: was obviously the Kareem Hunt situation. As one of the

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: leaders on this team, does that sort of, you know,

85
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: prove another another chance to remind guys on your team,

86
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: especially the young guys on your team, you know how

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: they need to sort of carry themselves to be in

88
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: the NFL and what can happen, and just to make

89
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: smart choices outside of the outside of the you know,

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: practice facility in the in the in the field, in

91
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: the locker room and everything else. It is definitely a

92
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: reminder of just make smart choices. Um you know, treat

93
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: women properly. You know, put diver, put your hands on

94
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: a woman, and you just gotta be good role models

95
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: in the community. There is a lot of people I

96
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: look up to, so we have to do things right away. James,

97
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time. Congratulations on the wind. We'll talk

98
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: again next week. Let Ron, thank you.
